GOBN already doin work. Any chance this was the price of boosters chipping in for buyouts and new coach?

Biggest home marquee game outside of Bama and LSU.

When they pushed Long out you knew LR and WMS games would be back in a big way.

The contract mandated it be an SEC game next year.

Yes but they are making a concerted effort that since games are going to be played at WMS to make it worth it.

Revenue loss and recruiting be damned.

Will be a great atmosphere. Good weather (should be), good tailgating (if they don't move it to Thursday or 11:00 a.m.) and should be a great crowd. Ole Miss will likely sell all their tickets and buy any leftovers they can find.

55,000 tops. It will be the smallest home crowd of the year.

I don't know about that. By the end of the season it may be about like this year when 30,000 show up at DWRRS for the last home game.

If this is the last game there, I'm glad it's Ole Miss. Vandy would have been one last slap in the face.

We can host recruits in WMS. We hosted recruits in Dallas vs Aggies.

I mean it is the 70th anniversary season at WMS.

stands to reason Long would have thrown them the ole miss bone had he still been here

LR games are not going anywhere now. That was longs plan. Not the GOBN's plan.

While I don't give two shits about the GSD and personally won't go to a game at WMS.....

I can't help but laugh. The arrogance and shite talking by the NWA crowd makes this enjoyable.

Only able to give tickets for unofficial visits when the 'home' team at one off campus venue per year.

No official visits, campus tour, facilities tour and everything that goes into the campus experience.

GOBN's next feat will be to move the Golden Boot game back to Black Fri and when played in Arkansas, it shall be played at WMS. That's when you know Stephens is back, fully engaged.

Meanwhile, some school you've never heard of gets a new facility built to be named after him on the east coast.
